When one method isn't enough to teach GCF, try two! This interactive webpage introduces factors and the prime factor tree to find the greatest common factor of two numbers. After the lesson, have learners click to try the two examples...

Identifying patterns is a crucial skill for all mathematicians, young and old. Explore the multiplication table with your class, using patterns and symmetry to teach about square numbers, prime numbers, and the commutative and identity...

What do divisibility and factoring have to do with each other? Well, if a whole number is the divisor and a whole number is the answer then both those numbers are factors of the number being divided. But if the answer is a decimal number...

How do you find the factors of a given number? The teacher will show you how to use a table, test out your answers, and then write all your factors in a list. If you know the divisibility rules, that will also help you out.

Looking for the least common multiple, not the greatest common factor. It's so easy to mix these up. It may seem a little confusing at first because there are variables and exponents in the monomial examples. Watch this video and get...

The instructors shows how to identify factors by breaking apart the numbers and variables of an expression and showing how multiplication if the operation that is being applied in each case.

Provide this video for your class to help with understanding of how to use the zero product property to find solutions to an equation. Before viewing, learners will need to have a basic understanding of the zero product property since...

Solving quadratics by factoring is the main concept in this video. Several examples are shown with positive numbers and with negative numbers. The instructor demonstrates how to set the factored equation to zero to solve the quadratic....

Debbie wants three blue and two yellow balloons at her party, but in five sets. How many total balloons is that going to take? Multiples of a sum is another way of practicing multiplying with the distributive property. The video shows...

Master composite and prime numbers with this fast-moving game. Using your sword, slice those composite numbers and watch them break up into factors. Slice again if those factors are composite. However, watch out for prime numbers,...

Provide this video for your class to help with understanding of how to use the zero product property to find solutions to an equation. Before viewing, learners will need to have a basic understanding of the zero product property since...

How do you find the factors of a given number? The teacher will show you how to use a table, test out your answers, and then write all your factors in a list. If you know the divisibility rules, that will also help you out.

How will learning about the divisibility rules help you do better in math? Well, if you have multi-digit numbers to factor, these rules will definitely help you factor numbers more quickly.

Here is an interesting presentation on fractions, quantities, and factoring. A game called four in a row is presented as a way of providing a fun way for learners to practice mathematical skills in these areas. Along with the game, there...

Third graders explore math digits by rewriting numbers in an expanded form. In this number sense lesson, 3rd graders analyze a whole number by breaking down its possible factors. Students complete a worksheet in which they break down a...

Students identify the greatest common factor. In this multiplication lesson plan, students review multiplication facts and discuss ways to solve word problems using the greatest common factor. Students participate in a review, guided,...

In this products, multiples, and factors worksheet, students complete various activities where they solve problems for products, multiples, and factors of numbers. Students complete 14 problems.

Finding factors is an integral aspect of multiplication. Although there are two examples here, they don't illustrate the process so you will still need to model this a few times for scholars. First, mathematicians list the factors for...

A teacher describes how to find the prime factors of 525. She starts by describing how to use a factor tree to describe the factors of a number. Next, she uses increasingly difficult examples to illustrate this concept.

Finding factors requires practice and a logical system, so help scholars develop this skill with these problems. They write out the factor list for 9 two-digit numbers and then circle the factors from a list for four more numbers....

Finding factors is an integral skill on the road to fractions and algebra. Scholars write down a factor list for nine numbers up to 30. Next, they examine provided lists and circle the numbers that are factors of eight more numbers, also...

Get your bright-eyed mathematicians thinking first thing in the morning using this set of morning math problems. There are 20 warm-ups here with concepts including number patterns, solving for a variable, greater than/less than, prime...

Middle schoolers read through four examples that demonstrate factorisation. They work through five practice problems. Finally, pupils complete 31 factorisation questions. The worksheet is graded at the bottom. Note: The British spelling...

Fifth and sixth graders explore prime numbers. They work with a partner to build rectangular arrays using twelve tiles. Factor pairs are noted and recorded on graph paper. Pupils construct rectangular arrays with a prime number and...
